Is Aonther Day the most recent voice? - Even more recent than HMH ??

I thought HMH was the most recent song on Michael.

no, i'm not saying that... i don't care if one song is from 1980 or 2010... i consider recent HMH and Another Day, recent voice of Michael, who reminds me his recent voice better, that's what i'm saying...

Ahh OK.

Thanks very much for all your info Ele.

VERY much appreciated. Can't wait.

Hope there are some uptempo songs on the album that will be played on clubs and discos.
 
Please Ele as a pro tell us do u think that the whole controversy issue with Michael's voice will hurt album sales, I am afraid of that and esp. the upcoming Oprah show if it focuses solely on the fans arguments and mess and not the album ...I mean if the album is sourounded by doubt that instantly gives to a non mj fan the motive not to buy it ....
 
thanks so much Ele74. my mind is like:
Low expectations. high expectations. low expectations. high expectations.
argggggggggggghhhhhhh. what a rollercoaster
cant wait to see promotion tho...at this stage i think i'll prob start screaming in relief if i see a commercial or poster
:)
 
Hollywood Tonight, Another Day, Behind the Mask, Much too soon.... hmmm... no.... BN, KYHU and Monster are not different.... hmm... i remember maybe something on BN, like some censorship sound/words in TDCAU.... but i'm not sure, I didn't take notes.

Hollywood Tonight is the same song as do you know where the children are [12o'clock]?
 
no no... we're not talking about the "commercial package" cd. Record companies worldwide received mastered cd with mp3 files of the album during the last week end. So, the quality that you can hear is not best/final for sure. I don't know if journalists will hear the same record, but I suppose it will be the same.

Forgot to say, they're planning some kind of "event" in Time Square (NY) for the dayOne, still not confirmed but i'm confident.... here we're working on a viral internet campaign (i don't know if it will be everywhere) based on the concept that "Michael is inside his fans, Michael is one of us" and with every fan saying on camera "I'm Michael". Don't know if it will be a worldwide campaign through michaeljackson.com or not... today i just saw the non-definitive teaser.... make me cry, i like the concept. 'Cause Michael is really inside everyone of us.

"I'M Michael" it sounds like commercial "I'M PC"!

OMG - I really like the whole idea of Michael is inside his fans as a promotion. I will definitely be very emotional if I see something like this.

Controversy already affected the sales on Itunes as far as I know.... people in stores will see the new Michael Jackson's album. The problem is the fans. It's about us. If we choose to support it or not.

Thank you very much Ele, here in Greece things are way worse, we the Greek fan community MJHellas.gr contacted Sony to help at the promotion and marketing and air-play which is none here, -stations refuse to play the new songs-, they do not want to work with us to organize the promo better. We contacted radio stations many times, but nothing happens, they say that they do not have the mp3 of HMH while Sony says they have sent it. A big confusion, vision sells literally because of the fans and site mentions.
As far as I know instead they support other events not related to the album itself, is like they "ban" us for some reason. This community is alive and working hard for Michael for over 10 years now I think we are not to be overlooked esp. at those hard times. Is there anything else we can do ? Generally here in Greece always as far as it regards foreign artists things go horrible...
Sometimes I have right to say that we are his Blessing and his Curse at the same time :(

Thank u mate big hugs !!:group: Is indeed frustrating to WANT and CAN to do things for Mike and not to be able to find the way, a party for a Mike's album release has always been a dream here for us, never came true....
 
Does anyone know yet if there will be a 12" version of the LP or a 12" version of the Hold My Hand single...
....can't find anything for either of those.
Thanks :)
 
This is a good Idea, now that facebook and twitter are the best promoters!!

Michael inside of us, but only 70% in this case!!!
 
with all the leaks today, do you guys think that someone is trying to sabotage the album?
 
I don't see how leaks can sabotage the album really.

It just makes PR actually. - I think it will help more.
 
I agree, Hess. Never in a million years would I have thought MJ fans would actually HURT a new MJ release -- instead of celebrating it, rejoicing in it, sharing it with the world. Wow, what a strange new world we live in. This would have been UNHEARD of back in the day. I have been a Michael Jackson fan since 1970, and have NEVER seen "fans" act in this undignified manner. So, so sad...
 
^^^^

Agreed.

BUT they can't take the joy and exitement away from me.

sad but true. never ever i expected to see anything like it.

same here!:clapping:
 
So sad that fans are destroying a MJ album. :(

I don't think they are destroying but rather trusting what's in their hearts & ears. It does not make them any less fans or trying to hurt MJ. If anything they are hurting inside too because they feel someone is trying to pull the wool over their eye's. Yes, there are some fans who come across the wrong way in trying to get their viewpoints across (and that' for the believers and non). To those who will buy the album! Enjoy :)

At this rate..Leaks will help cause Sony ain't really doing no promotion. At least not from what I can tell. If anything someone is messing with Sony cause they are leaking awesome songs that should have been on t his album. But then again..it's sad cause people will feel a little let down that songs that have leaked like "Blue Gangsta and DYKWYCA" will not be on the album!

Unless they make an Alternate MJ album! That would be great! Replace the Cascio tracks with the leaks and then both fans on the either side of the fence will buy the album and everybody happy (not fully but it's a solution in the meanwhile). :)

It is very dificult to live and be a Mj fan in Greece. (??? ??????? ??? ???? ??? ????????????? ???????)
 
Never in a million years would I have thought MJ fans would actually HURT a new MJ release .If this album does not sell good media will again destroy Michael.It is something very disappoint?ng

That is exactly right. I am so excited about the upcoming release, and yes, that means ALL TRACKS. And no one can take that away from me. Ever. My heart is full -- with love and respect for the artist that is about to prove to the world once again that he has no equal -- and with loss, for the obvious reasons...

But, I am so looking forward to having MICHAEL on "repeat" on my iPhone. December 14th can't get here fast enough... ;)
